Summer just would not be summer without ridiculous amounts of ice cream. My mom never routinely kept ice cream at home, so getting an ice cream cone was definitely a treat to be savored. Growing up, there was a little soft serve stand on a corner in our little town and we made frequent visits once the weather got warm.
Easy ice cream that can be made without a machine, and it's healthy for you. Yes, this Avocado Chip Ice Cream is healthy and delicious. I made something really crazy... you are going to have to trust me that it was really good:-) It has been hot here...like crazy super hot.
This is a copycat recipe of one of my very favorite ice creams - Brithday Cake Remix from Cold Stone. If you've never had it before, it is the jam. Like, for realises. SO good. It's an amazing mix of cake batter ice cream, sprinkles, brownies and chocolate sauce.
There's nothing that screams summer more than fun Summer Desserts like popsicles. Over at The NY Melrose Family, my girls would eat popsicles for breakfast, lunch and dinner if I would let them. I'm not that "cool" though.
Paired with a Summer Ale Lavender Blueberry Honey Ice Cream, made with lavender essential oil, is a delicious and refreshing way to celebrate summer! A traditional ice cream base is made from heavy cream, whole milk, egg yolks and sugar. The addition of honey... #beerandfoodpairing #dessert #howto
Place the half-and-half and the heavy cream into a medium saucepan, over medium heat. Bring the mixture just to a simmer, stirring occasionally, and remove from the heat. In a medium mixing bowl whisk the egg yolks until they lighten in color. Gradually add the sugar and whisk to combine.
For the puree: Blend together the fruit, sugar and lemon juice in a blender until smooth. For the yogurt: Whisk together the sugar, yogurt and coconut extract. Pour alternating layers of the fruit puree and coconut yogurt into popsicle molds, and then insert the sticks. Freeze until the pops are firm, about 8 hours.
Oh, hello there! Were you just thinking you'd like a bite of cheesecake without the bother of water baths or a hot kitchen? One that would, perhaps, win you friends and earn you accolades at backyard picnics this summer? Why, me too! Great minds really do think alike.
Salted caramel sauce is the coolest kid in class, am I right? It's the quarterback of the football team... the head cheerleader. When salted caramel is at a party, everyone wants to be there. While food crazes like macarons and cake pops are certainly deserving, I think salted caramel has some serious staying power.
In the interest of full disclosure, I am sharing the whole story about how this pistachio ice cream came to be. Developing this ice cream recipe has been a couple months in the making. Back when I made the pistachio gelato that kicked off National Ice Cream Month in July my Chief Culinary Consultant tasted it and wasn't really blown away.
